THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER\n\n'A great book for anyone who wants to vicariously travel like an old-fashioned adventurer and seeks to understand how far we have come in developing a protective attitude to wildlife' New York Times\n'A marvellous book ... unputdownable ... utterly engaging' Telegraph\n\nIn 1954, a young television presenter named David Attenborough was offered the opportunity of a lifetime - to travel the world finding rare and elusive animals for London Zoo's collection, and to film the expeditions for the BBC. \n\nNow 'the greatest living advocate of the global ecosystem' this is the story of the voyages that started it all. Staying with local tribes while trekking in search of giant anteaters in Guyana, Komodo dragons in Indonesia and armadillos in Paraguay, he and the rest of the team battled with cannibal fish, aggressive tree porcupines and escape-artist wild pigs, as well as treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather, to record the incredible beauty and biodiversity of these regions. The methods may be outdated now, but the fascination and respect for the wildlife, the people and the environment - and the importance of protecting these wild places - is not.\n\nWritten with his trademark wit and charm, Adventures of a Young Naturalist is not just the story of a remarkable adventure, but of the man who made us fall in love with the natural world, and who is still doing so today.

Arianna Sarris è una ragazza coraggiosa: vuole essere indipendente, studiare, lavorare. Ma, nella New York degli inizi del Novecento, per una giovane donna di origini greche non è facile percorrere la strada dell'emancipazione. Arianna trova lavoro nello zoo del Bronx proprio nel momento in cui arriva una nuova sorprendente attrazione: un pigmeo di ventitré anni, destinato a vivere insieme a orangutan e scimpanzé. Il suo nome è Ota Benga, ed è stato liberato dalla schiavitù da un missionario americano che ne è poi divenuto amico e lo ha portato con sé in America. L'esposizione di Ota Benga nella gabbia organizzata nel 1904 sull'onda di un'interpretazione distorta delle teorie darwiniane, secondo cui il pigmeo sarebbe l'anello di congiunzione tra l'uomo e la scimmia - ha un enorme successo e suscita al contempo violente proteste. Colta, sensibile e perennemente alla ricerca, Arianna entra in crisi di fronte a questa vicenda, che vive da vicino, anche perché uno degli organizzatori è il suo fidanzato. Questo è solo il primo passo di un cammino che la condurrà attraverso gli Stati Uniti e ancora oltre, incontrando uomini e cieli lontani, intrecciando con Ota Benga un silenzioso dialogo a distanza: per giungere ai confini del mondo noto e iniziare a scoprire che il tesoro più grande non è destinato a chi ha gli occhi pieni di certezze, ma a coloro che sanno coltivare il dubbio e la ricerca.
